Budweiser Clydesdale foal has new name
Anheuser-Busch said Tuesday that its contest to find a name for the foal born Jan. 16 at the company's Clydesdale ranch in mid-Missouri generated more than 60,000 tweets, Facebook comments and other messages. Hope was one of the more popular names generated through the social media effort.
Other suggestions were nods to the song featured in the commercial, including Landside — the name of the song — and Stvie — for Fleetwood Mac singer Stiev Nick.

The ad chronicles the enduring bond of a Clydesdale foal and the horse's trainer. Anheuser-Busch has released a two-minute version available on YouTube.
The young horse proved to have some acting chops. Though a female, she played a male in the 60-second spot of "Brotherhood." The commercial ranked No. 1 on USA Today's Ad Meter, a ranking based on fan voting on the USA Today website through Facebook and Twitter.

Nostalgia, mindlessness pair in new Sylvester Stallone flick
ALEX LAMB

"Bullet to the Head" isn't as dumb and groan-worthy in its old-school mentality as "The Expendables 2," but it isn't as competently made as a typical Jason Statham vehicle either. Instead, it finds an undemanding middle ground of nostalgia and mindless, cliché storytelling.
But thanks to star Sylvester Stallone and veteran genre director Walter Hill, there's some merit here. He actually forgot how Sly the Stallion's roughneck charisma can carry a film when it's not used in total bombast, and Hill wisely remembers the gusto of great '80s villains, making the baddies a big highlight.
As Stallone gives unnecessary and laughable narration during the opening, it's really a cue for the audience to power down their brains immediately because the narrative that follows frequently ignores how things work out in the real world.
It's a simple revenge tale where hitman Jimmy Bonomo (Stallone) and D.C. detective Taylor Kwon (Sung Kang) team up in New Orleans to take down those who killed their partners. Kwon is a fresh-faced thinker who relies on his phone and online databases to figure things out, while Jimmy muscles his way through his foes for answers.
Those bad guys include the likes of Christian Slater as the
Momoa didn't have much luck when he stepped into Schwarzenegger's shoes in the "Conan the Barbarian" remake, but he kicked ass in "Game of Thrones" and I've been a fan since his days on "Stargate: Atlantis." He stands out here with a relentless persistence and an awesome axe fight climax against Stallone, which was easily the coolest sequence.
bankrolling playboy, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agabie (Mr. Eko from "Lost") as the enterprising brains of the operation and Jason Momoa as the brawny killer. Slater owns sleazy roles like this, wonderfully loathsome in his handful of scenes. Anikkuoye-Agabie essentially plays a low-grade Bond villain, and his enjoyment of it is contagious.
Like the macho action flicks of the '80s, Bonomo is a relic of the past. He and Kwan banter about this comically, which turns out pretty silly in the movie's theme of old school vs. new
age, Kang annoys slightly with his performance, sticking out as the weaker link in the movie, but this is clearly Stoneall's show and he gives a solid beatdown.
Considering how generic "Bullet to the Head" is and that it doesn't even take effective advantage of its bayou setting, it's certainly better than it has the right to be. The harkening back to brash action sensibilities and Stallone performing in his element deliver enough entertainment to pass an afternoon, but you'll forget the movie as soon as you turn your brain back on.
